Thank you!! I just got one of these and it’s easier for me to figure out how to use it if I see it being done!! I have watched so many videos and yours is the only that actually walks you through it and shows how it’s done! Thank you!!!!!!

A common problem with the table top pit boss is the auger in to short and very easy to get burn back into the hopper. The solution is to raise the hopper side of the smoker about 1-1.5", that way the pellets at the end of the auger will fall into the burn pot instead of catching fire while still in the auger. If you start seeing smoke from the hopper push and hold the prime button to feed all the burning and smoldering pellets in the hopper into the burn pot.

i have a asmoke as300 looks exactly like this minus the battery. i love this grill. being only 2 of us it is much easyer to cook on. smoky flavor is not as good as my eletric smoker or charcoal of course. but the easy to use have burgers done in 1 hour from start to finish it is my go to grill now. i tried a few different pellets so far i like knotty wood almond. is there any other you may recommend that would give more smokey flavor?

[@stonerscravings]

Peace. I want that smoker. I’m a broken record, I know 😂
